Franck Nguema, former Minister of Youth and Sports, has urged a fundamental overhaul of Gabon’s Caisse nationale d’assurance maladie et de garantie sociale (CNAMGS) during a press briefing in Akanda. Addressing concerns raised by the 2025 World Health Organization (WHO) report, he emphasized that the issue is not whether the CNAMGS should exist, but whether it delivers tangible, high-quality healthcare to its beneficiaries. The WHO’s findings, he noted, do not label the CNAMGS as a ‘fraud’ or ‘scam’ but highlight the urgent need for systemic reform.
